por.in's Minister of Public Printing.

81
The SAM ed douleh, or minister of pub
lie printing, is a functionary who is often
closeted with the shah, as he ig public
censor and nominal editor of tho official
journals. 1t is said hat nothing Coes into
these periodicals without first passing
under the eye of the shah. But cs they
appear only monthly and cover hut four
pages i'll large type, the task Of editing il
more apparent than real.
The SAM ed douleh also cssistI tho shah
in editing his journals Of travel and pre-
pairing them for the press. The most re-
cent work of this description Is the account
of the shah's excursion to Mcschcd in
lsS2, in which the royal author gives some
OF his own conclusions concerning the
antiquities along the route he followed.
The work is illustrated with photographic
illustrations made from photographs.
These works as well az the official gazettes
are printed by TYPOGRAPHY. This may
seem n somewhat laborious and unncces-
sary process at the present age, for tho
casting OF Arabic characters, which the
Persians use, has been often done, and
several volumes have been printed in Indin
in the Persian language from metal types.
But the Persians, with their exquisite
aesthetic feeling, cannot become habituatel
10 type printing, as it Is less soft, flowing
and flexible than tho written character.
Hence the preference for ~llthography,
which approximately gives them the deli
cate touches of the caligraphic art. A
skillful scribe writes out each page rs it Is
to appear in the printed copy. This Is
photographed on 4 stone with Il prepared
surfaces. w. q. BENJAMIN.

The beginning of disease is a slight de-
bility or disorder of some OF the vital
organs, the stomach, the liver or the
bowels usually. There are dyspeptic sym
ptoms, the liver is troublesome, the skin
grows tawney and unhealthy looking,
there are pains in the right side or through
the right shoulder blade. The climax is
often an utter prostration of the physical
energies. perhaps a fatal issue. But if the
difficulty is met in time with Hostetter's
Stomach Bittcrs, which il always effective
as a remedy, and it should be resorted to
at an early stage, there will be no reason
to apprehend those injurious subsequent
effects upon the system often entailed by
entirely cured diseases. Far better is it,
also, to employ this safe remedial agent in
fever and ague, and other malarial com
plants, than quinine arc other potent
drugs, which even when they do prove
effectual for a time, ruin the stomach and
and impair the general health.

started on a lonely road.
A few companions with mo went,
Some fell behind. some forward strobe,
But all on one high purpose bent;
To live for Nature, finding truth
In beauty and the shrines OF art;
To consecrate our joyous youth
To aims outside the common mart
turned aside and fingered long
To pluck a rose, to hear a bird,
TO muse, while listening to the song
Of brooks through leafy coverts heard;
To live In thoughts that brought no fame
Or guerdon from the thoughtless crowd
To toll for ends that could not claim
The worlds applauses coarse and loud.
But still, though oft l bind my sheaf
In fields my comrades have not known
Though art is long and life is brief,
And youth has now forever flown;
would not lose the rnptures sweet,
Nor scorn the toll Of earlier years;
still would | climb with eager feet,
Though towering height on height appears,
